Bench rescues Florida Gators in Vanderbilt win

The Florida Gators ended a couple of losing streaks Wednesday night as they pulled out a 66-57 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Florida has struggled mightily with Vandy in Mike White’s tenure as it came into the game having lost six of the last seven and five straight matchups. On top of that, the Gators had lost three consecutive games and were in a must-win situation.

Vandy showed early why it had not won a single SEC game this season, but Florida didn’t look much better.

The Gators were up 5-4 at the first media timeout as the two teams struggled to keep possession of the basketball.
